Three of The Best: Hand Moisturiser

December 27, 2012

Central heating, cool-winter air and frequent washing with sub-standard hand washes will sap moisture from the skin. The result is often dehydrated, cracked and dry looking skin – particularly on the hands. The remedy is simple; choose a hand wash rich in moisturising glycerin and if required add a dedicated hand moisturiser to your routine.

The best hand moisturisers are often thick, rich and hydrating as well as quick absorbing but without a greasy, oily residue. Many have bathroom or kitchen sized solutions to sit alongside their soapy brothers and travel size, ideal for your briefcase or gym bag. Here are 3 of The Best – all of which are unisex.

Burt’s Bees Shea Butter Hand Repair Creme

Thicker than a lotion, better for normal to very dry skin, this cream includes 100% natural ingredients, notably: Sunflower Oil and Glycerin with Shea Butter and essential botanical oils: Macadamia Nut, Rosehip, Lavender, Neroli and Borage all of which help to moisturise, nourish and hydrate skin, nails and cuticles. A little goes a very long way, and provides excellent hydration.
